This would be #1, I'll get back to you on the other 4

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Instead of just posting the posters of my 5 favourite anime, I'll post some pics about some anime characters that I find interesting.

1. Akemi Homura, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.  This is actually the very first scene in the anime, but shown without the context.  Becomes a very powerful scene when the full story is shown.


2. Yuki Nagato, Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.  One of the most heartwarming, emotional and world famous scenes in an anime classic.  Yuki = snow in Japanese. 


3. Super popular herione Saber of Fate series.


4. Angel, Angel Beats.  I usually don't prefer fanart, but this is quite nice.  It depicts a very famous scene in the opening song sequence, that of Angel playing piano to the tune of "My Soul; Your Beats." 


5. Euphemia, Code Geass.  Highlights her innocence and kindness.

I'm pretty sure it highlights her breasts.

By anime standards, those breasts are very modest :contract:

Oh sure she seems innocent and kind but I bet she is a dirty dirty girl in private.

Fate Stay Night is so overrated.

You sicken me Mono!  :mad:

Huh?  Saber is also the leading heroine in Fate Zero, which is one of the most highly acclaimed shows and much more highly rated than Stay Night.  She is not the heroine of a single show, but an entire series.  I am not even mentioning Kaleid Liner (ok, she only had a bit more than a cameo there) and Carnival Phantasm (still a major character there).

I tried for an ACW hijack with my (sincere) choice of art, but it failed. :weep:

I dunno.  Manet's Olympia, Lawrence's portrait of the Duke of Wellington, David's Death of Marat, Van Gogh's Starry Night and Bruegel's Triumph of Death.

Unless you consider warships an art, in which case I would replace Death of Marat with USS Iowa.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
